My parents answered my every request....MANY, MANY, MANY times the answer was NO....Ruined a lot of my planned good times, but probably saved me from jail and death.
Yes, God answers every prayer....I pray that my 98 year old mother doesn't die....Nope is the answer.....We almost always ask the wrong questions and try to have things done as we would like....seldom happens.
When we decide that we can protest against God's intended plan and provide our own conception of what redemption is...we run into more than serious problems.
Agreed. He does answer prayer, it’s just sometimes we don’t receive the answer we want...
I pray for His will. I think He has a sense of humor because sometimes I get what I want, say like patience and then I’m given an opportunity to practice it.
Sounds like you had a GOOD upbringing!
